Kawasaki Puccetti Racing – Mahias crashes and sustains injury in WorldSBK race 1 at Assen
Kawasaki Puccetti #racing today took part in day two of the fifth Superbike World Championship round at the Assen TT Circuit in The Netherlands. Yesterday, #lucasmahias concluded practice a strong seventh despite a crash during FP2, setting a best time of 1'34"771.
This morning, the French rider was out on track for FP3, during which he completed a long run to prepare for the races. His fastest lap time was a 1'35"304.
A few hours later and Mahias was back out for the fifth Superpole of the season, which establishes grid positions for the races. Unfortunately, Lucas was unable to find the right moment to exploit the qualifying tyre and finished fifteenth with a time of 1'35"335.
With this result, he lined up on the fifth row of the grid for the afternoon's race. Mahias made a strong start and was quickly up into eleventh place. He continued to gain ground thanks to his strong pace and was lying ninth when unfortunately he fell victim to a high-speed crash on lap thirteen. Taken to the Medical Centre, he has sustained a scaphoid fracture on his left hand. The unlucky French rider is already on his way back to France where he will undergo surgery.

"In Superpole I didn't find the right moment to make the most of the qualifying solution and closed just fifteenth, but I knew I had the pace to do well. I started strong and was catching up when I crashed. I can't remember the dynamics of the crash, but I know I felt real pain in my left wrist. I'm heading straight back to France now to undergo surgery to fix the fracture. I hope to be back on the bike as soon as possible".
